As the NFL’s Colts clashed with the Packers in Wisconsin last Sunday, downtown Indianapolis was alive – but not because of football. Half a mile up the road from the Colts’ empty stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse was filled to near capacity for the WNBA matinee between the Dallas Wings and Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever. The game did not disappoint.
With the NFL in full swing and the hometown Colts playing right now in Green Bay, there’s still a packed-to-the-rafters crowd for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. We have never seen anything like this in women’s sports. pic.twitter.com/tkpJZ5ZWMr
